A total of $35,000 was awarded to 18 students in the state in North Carolina in 2015. The Targeting Excellence scholarship selection committee is currently reviewing approximately 40 applications for the 2016 scholarships and will be awarding a total of $40,000. It is through the generous support of the North Carolina 2015 sponsors and those who attended our 2015 North Carolina event that Targeting Excellence is able to make this type of impact on the future of the animal agriculture industry.
